So, I'm digging up this old thread because, much to my dismay. Access4less. who has provided my parents with cheap ($5/mo) hassle-free, ad-free dialup access, has been bought out by Earthlink. They're "kind" enough to give me the opportunity to stay with the same email address for $9.95/mo, but my hatred of Earthlink (the Wal*Mart of the Internet) will not allow me to do that.

So, if anyone out there knows of any other ISPs that fit the original requirements, at around the $5/mo price point, let me know. Access4less sure was great while it lasted...
